For Depression I tried Trintellix 5mg for a week but had the worst nausea. No change with food or when taking it before bed. Every time, about 30 minutes after taking it, the nausea kicked in: I would feel the acid rising, stomach irritation, and my gag reflex get really sensitive. I had to sit still and fight off the strong urge to vomit for about 2 hours until it eventually subsided. I read that some people had less nausea over time, but I just couldn't stick it out and work/live my life. It's a bummer because I felt so much better emotionally, I really wanted to continue it. I just don't know why it causes such intense stomach upset :( Currently I'm trying 100mg Wellbutrin again and might ask to add an SSRI to that as well.

For Depression I've been on trintellix for 10 weeks now, roughly. I was on 5mg for awhile, now on ten. At first the nausea was unbearable and all it really did was stop me from getting overwhelmingly sad as often but now I've found that I'm more outgoing and capable of trying my best even in uncomfortable situations. The nausea is still there but it becomes super tolerable and gravol is a lifesaver. The only time it became a problem is when I was sick, I vomited non-stop, I had bronchitis so apparently the throat pain mixed with nausea was to blame. Still, overall trintellix has done wonders for my mental health and I'm hoping the majority of others can agree or find another medication that will do for you, what trintellix has done for me.

For Depression Recently I retired from public safety. I should have been happy and content to have a lot of free time. My friends all said I looked rested and better than I had in years. What they did not know is how depressed I was and how much I missed the work and my work friends. Reluctantly my doctor prescribed Bupropion HCL 150 mg for seven days then 300 mg daily in the AM. After the first day, I was already feeling better. I just finished the first two weeks and I'm feeling so much better. Occasionally I still have negative thoughts. Side effects include anxiety and an elevated BP. I'm happy with the results and believe the medication has taken me away from the edge. I will post updates periodically.

For Depression I took Wellbutrin at first to quit smoking. This was last year. It really did help me quit smoking and that was great. I have to say DO NOT DRINK ON WELLBUTRIN because it made me black out and huge problems from this. After my bad experience drinking on Wellbutrin I stopped taking it. After reading these reviews again I have decided to get back on it and this time around I wont have a problem seeing as I quit drinking completely. I have been in denial for a ling time but I do suffer from severe depression and weight problems and I am praying that this time around I can stick to it and turn my life around. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories they are very inspiring!

For Anxiety and Stress This medicine helped me out so much. I was scared at first and thought, why do I need to be controlled by a pill. Turns out, that pill saved me from doing something crazy and I am much calmer now with a lot of issues I face and things I have to solve. I am not afraid to try things or explore things because of my anxiety.
It took a good 3 to 4 weeks before I can tell the difference in my life. Everyone is different with the affects of how long it may take.

For Anxiety and Stress I took 10 mg for 10 days and then 20 mg per day. It was working well only few side effects in the first 10 days , like being tired and dizzy. I am able to sleep well and my heart is not giving me hard time with palpitations or chest pain. I found that after I take the medication in the morning , it is better to sleep or to lay down. At night it is easy to go to sleep. Sunlight is a good addition to the medication to help me to get better ( vitamin D). I found that drinking a lot of water and walking are helping me too. The medication started to help me from the first day. Good luck!
